Hulkenberg to drive in Brazil on Friday

Nico Hulkenberg has confirmed that he will make an on-track appearance for Force India in Brazil next Friday, with the German driver set to replace Adrian Sutil during the first practice session of the weekend. Having been dropped by Williams at the end of 2010, Hulkenberg was picked up by the Silverstone-based squad as a reserve driver.

"Good news: I can drive on Friday in Brazil!" Hulkenberg explained via his personal Twitter account on Saturday afternoon. "For those of you asking: I will drive Adrian's Car."

The 2009 GP2 Champion memorably stormed to pole position at Interlagos last year, taking advantage of the changeable Q3 conditions to comfortably outpace his rivals.
